We are deeply saddened to inform you of the passing of our much-loved Canterbury League Club Life Member and former Director, Keith James Lotty.

Keith was a passionate supporter of the Bulldogs and the game of rugby league in our community. He also served the Bulldogs as Deputy Chairman for 15 years, as a member of the Social Committee for 8 years, as a selector First Grade for 12 years, and as a member of the Management Committee for 20 years. Keith also actively contributed to Junior Rugby League and the Referees Association for many years.
